2012 Election Cycle

As I write this there are 494 days until the 2012 Presidential election.

494 days for the Republicans to come up with a candidate worth voting for.

494 days for President Obama to figure out that since he won the election in 2008, he needs to actually work at running the country.

494 days that could bring anything: economic recovery/economic disaster, failed terror plots/successful terror plots, housing recovery/housing failure, a voice of reason/the same voices with the same old messages.

I don't know about you, but I'm praying for a voice of reason to emerge from the chaos of sameness. I'm hoping that someone intelligent, compassionate, smart (smart IS different from intelligent), responsible, truthful, loyal, patriotic, like-able will rise to the forefront and give us a reason to get excited about the future of our country.

494 days remain for you and I to research, listen, and choose the candidate that will be our next president.
